I started looking through Annie today. I figured that I better get a start on choreography this spring/summer so I'm not crammed for time when the show comes. As I'm flipping through my script, fantastick ideas are flying through my idea. But alas, can these people handle the intense action?? I want this to be the magical production Annie is supposed to be, but I'm not 100% sure that it will all work out.
What I want and what I'll get may end up being two totally different things.... especially in the choreography department. All the intense choreography was given to people I know can dance. Can I find 4 male and 6 females that are semi-good dancers to do "I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here??"
Easy Street is gonna be another good dance number, I need good people for that too.
I Dont Need Anything- all tap
Annie- servants dance AGAIN
Never Fully Dressed- Duffy tap solo/orphan dance
A New Deal- great ideas... but can it be done???
Every show that I have direct and will end up directing will have intense rehearsal periods and I tend to do things that past productions have not done (and have thought of many ideas to do for shows I want to direct) and I also tend to follow the script and score verbatim, because that's what the writers wanted.
*sigh* This cast is gonna be in for a whole new Matt Surico... and you thought Three Little Pigs-Director Matt was tough! =)
On the flip side- Annie will kick ass. Period.

take-one,
